Do you guys consider Glenn Campbell to be traditional country? I always liked his music a great deal but he might have been that bridge between old-school country and the slop that is today's crap. And what is called country music today is pure bullshit. Pop music with a twang sung by pretty people. Luke Bryan can choke on a thermos.

You’ve got to post some pics of yourself from those metal band days Lit...

A bit different but when I was in 8th grade Tesla played at my school dance. They were a local club band that at the time went by the name City Kidd. Our principle was buddies with thier original manager.

Shortly after they were signed, changed the name, and released Mechanical Resonance.

A decade ago I got into Ryan Bingham thanks to hardnosed. Wore out his album 'Mescalito' back in 2007/08.

I was in a shitty metal band in HS. A bit older than Ryan, but he went to our high school and would occasionally hang out in our garage while we jammed. Clearly he had more talent than us.

Did he have that 3 packs of smokes a day voice back then?

Funny how this thread went from Slayer to country music. Today I was driving for a few hours through one thunderstorm after another. Sheets of rain, 18 wheelers barreling by. I said fuck it and played 'Seasons in the Abyss' at 10.Surreal.

Nice choice.

I'll admit I can listen to all kinds of music. I listened to some country because my 1st wife had it on all the time in any room you walked into in our house it seemed. There's some good stuff out there even some "newer" stuff. It's the older stuff 20+ yrs older stuff that I could never listen too. I always gravitate towards rock/metal but I can listen to all kinds of music.
